about

the lyrics were inspired by our friend and bandmate, Chuck Mosley, who battled addictions until succumbing to them in 2017.

lyrics

so you drop to your knees
a last ditch effort to beat the disease
but you can't understand
control you felt has left you again


but you can't comprehend
you don't decide how this trip will end

waiting in line at the gates of heaven
i hope you're almost there
lost and confused you fail at redemption
you crave, so you cave
waiting in line at the gates of heaven
i pray you're almost there
lost and confused you fail at redemption
you crave, so you cave

so you turn down the lights
avoid the world and embrace the night
still you can't comprehend
you don't decide how this trip will end

waiting in line at the gates of heaven
i hope you're almost there
lost and confused you fail at redemption
you crave, so you cave
waiting in line at the gates of heaven
i pray you're almost there
lost and confused you fail at redemption
you crave, so you cave

I miss all of you
and i love all of you
i tried to be brave
i thought i could be strong
i was wrong

waiting in line at the gates of heaven
i hope you're almost there
lost and confused you fail at redemption
you crave, so you cave
waiting in line at the gates of heaven
i pray you're almost there
lost and confused you fail at redemption
you crave, so you cave
you cave
you cave
you cave
